    All Harris has to do to win, is lean into who she IS, and at every oppertunity post evidence that trump is wrong about who he says she is.

    Add a big helping of policy talk, a dash of memeing, celebrity endorsements, and boom, she’s in.

      Her campaign doesn’t even think this is true. They are essentially running a “basement” campaign. Zero events off prompter, speaking through surrogates, and trying to ride any potential DNC bump all the way through the election (or at least until early voting is underway in many states).

      Harris is deeply off-putting to listen to when she speaks extemporaneously on virtually any issue. Therefore her campaign is banking on more or less hiding her, “freezing” the poll numbers approximately where they are now and avoiding big risks.

      Literally the only inflection point that can change the race any further is the debate (or debates) if that happens.

      If Harris leans into who she actually is she will lose. She’s 100% right-wing authoritarian cop.
